Paintings
Artists all over the United States and around the world specialize in a wide variety of styles and genres, portraying the Horse and the people who have them in their lives. There's also the highly unusual approach of giving the Horse a paint brush and letting him create their own art on canvas. Unbelievable but true.

James Beck, Director, ArtWatch International, (revised 12/8/1992)
- All works of art have the inalienable right to live an honorable and dignified existence.
- All works of art have the inalienable right to remain in their original abode, whenever possible. They should be permitted to rest in their acquired homes without being moved to distant places: in galleries and museums, in private collections, in houses of worship, in public spaces, under protected and controlled situations as removed as much as possible from pollution, excessive variations of climate, and all forms of degradation.
- Works of art recognized as of the highest order should be regarded as belonging to the entire society of the world, the 'global cultural patrimony', not to a single entity, either local, institutional, or national, although the 'owners' would continue to have full custodial responsibility.
- The "owners" of the paintings and sculptures as well as other art objects, hold them under an enforceable constructive trust, for the benefit of the public.
- In the process of conserving works of art, ample room must also be provided for the new as well as for the conservation of the old, for otherwise we would risk fossilizing ourselves to the past. Decisions affecting art held in trust should be reviewable.
- The most distinguished art objects shall be specially designated 'world-class masterpieces', representing, perhaps, one object in a hundred among the finest cultural treasures (somewhat in the way that buildings are selected for "landmark" status). Prior to the restoration of any in this group of masterpieces, all proposed procedures would be subject to review by a court of competent jurisdiction after hearing testimony from specialists and representatives of the culture. Second opinions and sometimes third opinions would be sought.
- Under no circumstances should preservation and conservation techniques be employed that are essentially experimental in nature, except where the artwork is in imminent danger. In all other cases carefully controlled, fully documented testing is a prerequisite; findings, including photographs, must be made publicly available in a timely manner and at a reasonable expense. No restoration should be undertaken for the sake of curiosity or profit. If scholarly or scientific "discoveries" result from conservation techniques, they should be regarded as fortuitous byproducts, not as the raison d'etre of the intervention, as the artwork must not be considered an 'experimental laboratory'. Since every treatment, cleaning, or restoration has the potential of negative side effects, interventions should be taken sparingly, and with reversible techniques if possible, recognizing implicitly that in the future more effective and less damaging procedures may be devised. Restoration techniques should be subject to review before any restoration is undertaken.
- Masterpieces of the past should not be reproduced without clearly distinguishing original from copy, so that the integrity of the original is preserved. Efforts should be made to protect artists and their estates from violations of the intentions.
- Unified art works should not be divided or dissected, altered or mutilated, e.g., predella panels should not be separated from their altarpiece nor should individual pages be removed from a book of drawings. In principle, subsequent transformations, adjustments, reformulations added to the original statement should be left in tact as a mark of history.
- The stewardship of works of art, especially masterpieces of noted historical significance, should be subjected to free and open debate, and appropriate judicial review.
- The examination and maintenance of works of art must be provided on a regular basis and carried out by dedicated, trained professionals, certified by national and international standards, when feasible, after any objector has been given the right to be heard.
Equine paintings have been around for centuries, with some of the earliest known examples dating back to the cave paintings of Lascaux. Paintings of horses can be found in museums and galleries all over the world, and they are also popular among private collectors.
Equine paintings can be realistic or abstract. Realistic equine paintings often depict horses in a natural pose, such as grazing or galloping. Abstract equine paintings may be more stylized or geometric.
Equine paintings can be made from a variety of materials, including oil, acrylic, watercolor, and pastel. Oil and acrylic are popular choices for equine paintings, as they allow the artist to create a wide range of effects. Watercolor and pastel are also popular choices, but they are more delicate and require more care.
Some famous examples of equine paintings include:
- Whistlejacket by George Stubbs (1762)
- The Horse Fair by Rosa Bonheur (1853)
- The Red Prince Mare by Sir Alfred J. Munnings (1921)
Equine paintings are a beautiful and diverse art form. They can be used to depict the beauty and power of horses, as well as to explore more complex themes such as movement, freedom, and the relationship between humans and animals.
Here are some additional characteristics of equine paintings:
- Equine paintings often capture the horse's movement and grace.
- Equine paintings can be used to express a variety of emotions, such as joy, power, and beauty.
- Equine paintings can be used to tell stories, such as the story of a horse and its rider or the story of a particular horse breed.
- Equine paintings can be used to create a sense of place, such as a painting of a wild horse herd in the American West.
Equine paintings are a beautiful and expressive art form that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

Two years have passed since Dot Morgan opened an email from a Gettysburg artists saying he wanted to donate proceeds from painting he sold to her racehorse rescue, New Vocations.
But the artist didn't paint those pieces. His horse did.
"I was like, 'Well, this is interesting,'" Morgan recalled with a laugh.
Two years, countless media appearances and more than $63,000 in donated funds later, Morgan said that email was a godsend.

HAMILTON, Mont. - Two 100-plus-year-old paintings that have hung in the Ravalli County Courthouse for years, have been taken down for restoration.
The murals are part of copper magnate Marcus Daly's collection. Daly commissioned the art to put his prized Thoroughbred horses to canvas.
The Daly Mansion owns the paintings, and once they're restored, it is hoped they will hang in the mansion again.
It was a big job moving the huge paintings from the courthouse wall.
It took half a dozen men, including County Commissioner J.R. Iman, to load them.
